  • Co-Founder & CTO at Fresco News
    Feb 2014 - May 2017 · 3 yrs 4 mos

    Fresco is pioneering the next generation of news and content creation. Our goals are to make global events more transparent and empower anyone to be a reporter. - Expanded usage of Fresco dispatch to over 20 newsrooms across the U.S. A prime example being our relationship with “YourAlaskaKink” , a station group which dropped their entire in-house photo/videographer team to take advantage of Fresco - Facilitated the sale and conversion of our first generation product to NexStar to be used as their own white-label solution. - Raised Seed and Series A funding off of the revenue generated from our second generation product (Fresco dispatch). - Led the opening of our API to 3rd parties (think log-in with Facebook) which allowed any news service to integrate Fresco dispatch directly into their own software. Completed and commenced integrations with industry leaders e.g. Lakana, Wochit, Radiate Fresco via Wired ~ http://www.wired.com/2016/03/happen-now-theres-demand-economy-photojournalists
